yo, could u drop a link to the shade discord?

[@cota7739]

I feel like the community should do guides like this on every class, experienced players with their main and overall guidelines on their class.

[@happy4akc]

One of the best class guides I’ve ever seen. Great job!

[@vedu8519]

Thank you for the kind words ❤️

[@indra4059]

Thank you for the helpful video! I just hyper burned a Shade and I'm loving the class more than I thought I would!

[@PaulStickers]

Nice! Just hit 200+ on Shade and was looking up guides to main one (heroes are my favourite classes to play --- except mercedes) so this is so nice to watch and timely!

[@vedu8519]

For Spirit Bond Max, in order for it to work the way as explained in the video you must advance to 5th job and complete the advancement quest that enchances the skill. I completely forgot about this. Thanks to William Miao for reminding me.

[@mushuonelove5490]

There's a quest that enhances the skill?

[@mushuonelove5490]

Is this just the normal 5th job advancement? Because I never see my spirit frenzy skill turn pink

[@Duky]

the star rating system is genius and this video is done very well. I feel like my hayato one is ass in comparison XD. im very inspired

[@vedu8519]

You're the real mvp I saw your guide and was like "I gotta do one!" :D

[@ItsShottyy]

Great guide!

been looking for a detail guild like this for a while. ty my dude

[@AxeMain]

Nice chill vibes. I like you man

[@MrVergil9000]

been looking forward to this, maybe i'll give the ole shade another try.

[@vedu8519]

I believe 🤞

[@princeXXI]

nice detail content

[@oHoriizon]

This was awesome! Great guide! Im currently lvl 224, my highest lvl and Shade is alot of fun. The mobbing is fluid, kind of low dmg considering im pretty new. Bossing feels decent, burst with all the 5th job skills is soo fun with the bind. Spirit Bond Max is probably my fav Hyperskill that ive tried so far Watching some of the Map Rotation examples makes me sad tho, that lvl 216 Shade is doing nearly triple my dmg per line :(

[@vedu8519]

Its okay! Damage is a hockeystick graph to a certain point. You'll get there!

[@tomtom8919]

Celeb! Great guide!!

[@danielsasse6655]

Loved the guide thank you 🙏 could you do other classes?

[@vedu8519]

I'll be honest with you, I am not that knowledgeable about other classes other than Kanna and Mihile enough to do any other guides :P

[@리플즈-t4x]

OMG I'm on youtube :) nice guide

[@JD-os8dg]

im newbie on maplestory and i decided to main shade. whats the stat distribution? all str? how do i get more mana?

[@thebguywe]

can you make a tricks/ like hidden things that shades can do video, for instance how they can avoid teleporting during p.no's whale and how you can use backdash to help looting rotations as it can teleport pets the platform you backstep onto

[@ino145]

Is Spirit Claw still good, I see that it went down a lot. I'm at 265%dmg and you're rocking 700+ EDIT: OH nevermind, it's another skill.. :D Btw: Does 2x the same trinodes stack? Also don't see any liver drops to extend the Hyper skill duration. Is this removed? :(

[@michaelpham2098]

Shade gang rise up

[@erickwon2612]

Is the star for Sellas just indicating that the entire area is good for leveling? Or is it a mistake? :o

[@dipper5835]

I could not move around at all with this class. Im so use to upjump and teleport

[@horobiru3992]

Hey got a question regarding the v-skills. What is the usage of blink and is it really worth it? I just struggle to see where I can fit it.

[@vedu8519]

Its only worth it in bosses like Lotus/BM/Seren. Other than that I don't think I ever use it personally. I would just spec into it for those bosses personally.

[@horobiru3992]

@@vedu8519 I see, thanks a bunch! 🙂

[@juhovee]

Looks great! I started burning one and for some reason my Spirit Bond Max doesnt drop livers or turn spirit frenzy pink. Has the skill been reworked or something. very confused...

[@vedu8519]

Are you attacking a mob after you activate it? The livers only drops from damaging mobs and enhanced spirit frenzy activates after you do an "attack" move.

[@Mushnut]

You have to be 5th job to drop livers, before 200 it's just a 30 sec duration buff. I think it's part of the advancement quest that changes it

[@vedu8519]

[@sochintzy4528]

Can you use spirit incarnations I frames to dodge Arkariums nearly map wide one shot attack? I haven't gotten the flash jump backstep method down quick enough so I usually end up dying since I can't escape fast enough even though he's at the right side of the screen.

[@vedu8519]

Yes, its a true and dodges any attack.

[@elchostomo]

Very useful guide!, I got one doubt about the 3rd job skill “frenzy” maybe I need more experience to use in bosses but it neve turned pink and the damage didn’t got much better, still I’m sure it’s me not understanding how the skill works properly.

[@vedu8519]

Are you using Spirit Bond Max right before you use it?

[@64Runal]

I prefer to farm mesos on my main in reboot. How well is shade at farming mesos?

[@vedu8519]

Middle of the pack. Not great, not bad. Can get some decent rates in specific maps.

[@64Runal]

@@vedu8519 Going to try shade today. Is the 1-200 experience okay or is it worth burning a shade?

[@vedu8519]

@@64Runal I would burn if possible. One of Shades biggest weaknesses is early game. 160-200 is kinda rough if you're unfunded.

[@arkhero_ms]

Is shade good bossing mule?

[@vedu8519]

I wouldnt recommend it honestly as it requires more funding to kill the same bosses if you're talking about strictly as a bossing mule.
